re: How is Obama down with the brothas... and they think he's cool... yet...

This Obama undid welfare lie you're repeating really speaks to how disengenuous Republicans are. They claim they want states to have more say so, they wanted to make changes in welfare and Obama gave them exactly what they wanted. In fact, this was done at the request of the Utah GOP governor. then when he does what Republicans ask, they attack him for doing so.

It's like this gitmo crap. For 4 years the GOP has led the way to restrict Obama from closing Gitmo. The last thing they want would be to close Gitmo. Yet they complain because he doesn't close Gitmo.

And their stupid sheep on this board just regurgitate these inane arguments.

Next up, look for the GOP to complain that Obama could ban assault weapons.

I'm lying?

Obama "undid" the centerpiece of the welfare reform act, the welfare to work requirement, by authorizing waivers to states to implement their own approaches to that tenet. That's a fact.

So what if Republicans requested it? You agree with Republicans all of a sudden?

Obama's "fix" is proclaimed to grant flexibility to get more people off welfare and into employment. Obama's genius crafted a plan that says, as long as more people are leaving welfare, your plan is acceptable. Never mind that one surefire way to get more people off welfare is to get more people on welfare.

Any guesses on what has happened to welfare receipts since Obama's "fix" was implemented?
